Meiqiang miserably uses herself as a substitute

What's the matter? "

Xie Yan: "..."

The next day, the palace.

The dark guard reported to Emperor Mingde all the people who appeared in Changsheng Restaurant that day.

Emperor Mingde snorted coldly, and couldn't hide the anger in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, there are so many people coveting dark jade in the market alley!

"I'm honest enough on weekdays, but it turns out that all of them have wolf ambitions!" Emperor Ming De waved his sleeves and brushed the inkstone on the desk to the ground.

The dark guard said: "The emperor calm down!"

At this time, a father-in-law came in to report from outside the palace. He saw the inkstone on the ground and saw that the emperor was angry at a glance. He said cautiously: "Your majesty, the fourth prince is begging to see you."

Emperor Mingde ordered the secret guards to go down, and said to the father-in-law, "Yes."

Wearing a black robe, with a crown and hair tied up, Xiao Li walked into the palace slowly with steady feet, showing elegance in every move.

He stood still in the hall: "Royal father."

Emperor Mingde retreated from the crowd and asked directly, "Fan Lao Zhizhou's injury, can anyone find out who did it?"

Xiao Zhan: "No."

Emperor Mingde sighed, pointed at Xiao Yan and shook his hand a few times, and finally let it go, "I never thought that the dark jade would be used by someone. You can probably guess what that person wants to draw out."

Xiao Li nodded and remained silent.

He vaguely anticipated what his father would say to him next.

"Zi'er, you know what it means to find the right talisman. Among my children, you and Fei'er are the only ones left, so I can rest assured."

Xiao Ran's expression was indifferent.

I knew he was going to talk about the prince again.

From Lin'an to the imperial palace, it takes half a day and one night to go on a fast horse. Xiao Lu was in a hurry to come back, not because he wanted to hear him say that his ears were all callused.

"My son knows." Xiao Jianjian interjected: "Second elder brother is kind and considerate, with his help to take care of things, father can save a lot of worry."

He only mentioned the second prince Xiao Fei, but he didn't bring himself.Emperor Mingde smiled to himself and understood the meaning.

The two children he is most optimistic about seem not interested in the crown prince.

Even very humble.

On the contrary, Xiao Ran, the third child, has the ambition to fight for the reserve, but his brain...is not as good as ordinary people.

It can be said that Emperor Mingde was worried about the future successor of Dachu.

"Okay, you don't want to hear it, I don't want to say it." Emperor Mingde shook his sleeves and sat down on the dragon chair, "Since the letter has not been found out, what's the matter with you coming back this time?"

Xiao Li raised his head: "Save someone."

Emperor Mingde laughed casually twice, and said casually: "My son, you have to save someone, and you still come to ask me for instructions?" He changed into a comfortable posture, "Tell me, who to save?"

"In the mouth of the dark guard, the person who was in Changsheng Restaurant that day." Xiao Li said, "Xie Yan."

Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes.

It was strange, as a father, it was the first time that he saw such an eager look in his eyes.

"I know that you have been looking for people all these years. Who you want to find is your business, and I will not interfere." Emperor Mingde said, "But you want to save people..."

He thought for a while and asked suspiciously, "Did you find it?"

Xiao Yan did not deny it.

Emperor Mingde remained silent for a long time, a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, and his tone was heavy: "You want to protect one, the one I want to kill?"

Xiao Yan's expression didn't change.

Emperor Mingde's eyes sank: "You know, those rumors in the market..."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly lost its previous state. One looked down from the dragon chair, and the other looked up in the hall. The two looked at each other in silence, each with their own thoughts.

Air stagnates.

After a while, the hostility in Emperor Mingde's eyes faded, "Quite."

Xiao Yan clenched his fingers.

"Since you've found it, then show it to me!" Emperor Mingde said condescendingly, "If I catch him running around, I..."

"I'll protect him again." Xiao Li said.

Emperor Mingde paused, surprised by his answer.

If it were someone else, the answer would probably be to ensure that they are optimistic and never let people run around.But when it came to Xiao Yan, it was just to protect him once, twice, three times...

Xiao Yan clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves.

If Xie Yan was really his little phoenix, he didn't want to imprison him.

Little Phoenix should fly in the sky and do as he wants.If there is trouble, he will clean it up for him.

Emperor Ming De looked sideways and said with a sneer: "Zi'er, there is nothing free in the world, you protect him this time, next time, next time, I will ask for the price... My son is no exception."

Xiao Zhan said calmly: "My son knows."

Emperor Mingde: "My son, you can't suffer."

Xiao Zhan: "My son knows."

Every time Little Phoenix got into trouble, he didn't clean it up for him in vain.

He will ask for it back one by one.

When Emperor Mingde saw him like this, his head began to ache again - the imperial doctor said that he was too worried.

Emperor Mingde thought about it, and probably the only thing he worried about was the establishment of a reserve.

However, recently there has been an incident of the Tiger Talisman, and this headache has become more frequent.

Emperor Mingde rubbed the center of his brows: "Go back, and investigate the person behind the scenes again."

Xiao Li saluted, turned and left.

"Hold on."

Xiao Li stamped his feet, but did not turn around.

"The third child is also in Lin'an, please watch him, don't let him embarrass me outside."

Xiao Yan said coldly: "No."

He didn't care about that idiot.

Emperor Mingde who was ruthlessly rejected: "..."

He looked at the back of his fourth son leaving, and his head seemed to hurt even more.

In Lin'an, a ray of light came out of the clouds at noon, and the rain quietly stopped.

Following Xiao Lan's order, Ah Deaf was in Lin'an, watching every move of the man behind him, and by the way kept an eye on the bird he had just caught.

Simply the bird was not as noisy as expected, not only did not make any noise to run away, but also chatted happily with him.

Xie Yan didn't know how he was recruited that day. He woke up last night and found that Ah Deaf had tied him up, so he knew it.

He stalled Xiao Yan.

Can't get rid of...

Xie Yan was not in a hurry to escape, sitting by the window, looking at his new "little follower".

Xie Yan: "A deaf?"

Ah Deaf nodded muffled.

"You are not deaf, why are you called Ah Deaf?"

Ah Deaf: "..."

His original name was Long Er, but "Dragon" was a taboo, so Xiao Yan changed his name to "A Deaf".

Seven years ago, the bodyguard of the fourth prince died protecting the lord. When he was just selected as a guard and entered the residence of the fourth prince, someone there also asked him: "Why are you called Deaf? "Cong" means sensitive hearing. How about your name, A Cong? "

That person left a month after he entered the mansion.

Later, the fourth prince searched for him for seven years.

Later, everyone in the market knew that the Fourth Prince loved to look at men's faces.

But he didn't know that there was only one person who could live in his heart after searching all over the world and seeing thousands of faces.

Seeing that he bowed his head and didn't know what he was thinking, Xie Yan sighed with a smile: "Mute? Don't call me deaf, how about calling me dumb?"

Ah Deaf: "Young Master."

Xie Yan asked casually, "Where's Xiao Zhan?"

He caught him, but he didn't know where he was going.

Ah Deaf: "The Fourth Highness has returned to Beijing, let me take care of the young master here."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows.

Back to resurrect...

Then it's easy to run.

Ah Deaf looked at Xie Yan, squeezed his palms, and said, "My lord."

Xie Yan: "Huh?"

Ah Deaf: "Your Highness, he is actually very happy to see you."

Xie Yan: "Oh."

He likes to look at the man's face, of course he is happy to see him.

Seeing that Xie Yan didn't respond, Ah Deaf said again: "Your Highness, he doesn't seem to care about anything, but in fact he cares about something terribly. Sometimes I see His Highness drinking alone... There is nowhere to complain about the depression in his heart..."

Xie Yan: "?"

He thought about what happened in Zuichun Tower yesterday, the man was drunk and forced him to ask Xiao Fenghuang if he had a conscience.He blinked and pretended nothing happened: "Hmm..."

That seems to care a lot.

It made him care too much to drink.

Ah Deaf clasped his fists together: "If possible, Ah Deaf would like to ask Young Master to help Fourth Highness."

Just spend more time with him.

Xie Yan: "..."

What can he do?

Xie Yan saw two jars of pear blossom brewed on the table.

Ah Deaf thought that Xie Yan disagreed, so he opened his mouth to continue, when he heard him say: "I see."

A deaf was taken aback: "A deaf thank you, young master."

Xie Yan smiled kindly: "No problem."

What is this?

The two stayed in the inn for half a day, Xie Yan behaved like a little rabbit, and Ah Deaf also relaxed his vigilance towards him.

Xie Yan calculated the time, no matter how stupid Su Ci was, it was time to find his whereabouts.

Xie Yan said: "When will your Highness come back?"

Ah Deaf: "His Royal Highness is going back as fast as possible, probably the soonest... by tomorrow's time."

Xie Yan smiled and said, "Then go and buy some tea."

Ah Deaf paused: "Tea?"

Xie Yan: "Yes."

His Highness the Fourth Highness has given orders not to leave Xie Yan every step of the way.Ah Deaf hesitated in place, hesitating.

Xie Yan looked at him, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and looked very cute: "Didn't you say that you want me to help your Highness?"

Ah Deaf suddenly realized that the young master wanted to drink tea with His Highness, so he lost his guard: "Young master, I'll go buy it right away."

The son looks like a gentleman, and a gentleman can't follow a word. If you promise him, you will do what you say.

Then he shouldn't run away while he's not around.

Thinking of this, Ah Deaf rushed to the market to pick tea leaves.

After a cup of tea, Ah Deaf came back with a bag of tea leaves, and when he was still downstairs, he heard the sound of the bottle breaking in Xie Yan's room.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went upstairs.

Pushing open the door, the window was open, the wine jar fell to pieces on the ground, the pear blossoms dripped all over the ground, and the aroma of the wine was strong.

And that person has long since disappeared.

Ah Deaf understood, and did not rush to catch up.His Highness had told him earlier that if Xie Yan wanted to escape, he couldn't stop him, and there was no need to stop him.

He put the tea leaves on the table and picked up the note that was pressed by the teacup.

The handwriting on it is neat: "After thinking for a long time, Xiao was too drunk, and there was no one to drink with.
